For more than 80 years, we have been advocating for retail. Our focus has always been, and continues to be, retail. That’s why we changed the Washington Leadership Conference (WLC) to Retail Advocates Summit. We have a new name, a new lens on what’s happening in Washington, and with your help, we will achieve new results for retail this summer.

A strong retail industry is critical to a growing economy, and ensuring our lawmakers understand the challenges of our industry is of paramount importance. As retailers your involvement in advocacy initiatives on behalf of the retail industry is key to making change. Learn how to be an effective advocate for your industry while fighting for policies that let your business grow.
